RarrikinsHow do I increase the width of the edges of windows so that I can have an easier time resizing?00:34
longbonglungfishhey everyone. i noticed that the file chooser in certain applications under xubuntu, doesn't seem to match the theme i have set. for instance, here is the file chooser in firefox; http://i3.minus.com/ibx3mYNgCvQkwO.png which looks like the file chooser in most other applications, and matches my theme. on the other hand, here is the file chooser for abiword; http://i3.minus.com/ibxV5Ut371bCpo.png which doesn't look00:35
longbonglungfish like the file chooser in most other applications, and doesn't match my theme. i have also noticed this issue with synaptic, leading me to think this might be an issue with gtk3 apps specifically. does anyone know of a way to fix this? thanks in advance.00:35
JaZZyCooLhey guys I am trying to connect my TV to my xubuntu but I dont know as soon as I connect the HDMI cables the cursor and the screen both stops responding I dont know what to do00:36
JaZZyCooLI would highly appreciate your help00:37
JaZZyCooLguys anyone00:41
JaZZyCooLthis doesnt happen on my windows00:41
JaZZyCooLcan anyone please help me out I am in real need00:41
JaZZyCooLguys anyone?00:48
HaggardJaZZyCooL: Don't know how much I can help but sometimes the windows/controls are auto-moved to the new display.00:49
JaZZyCooLmeaning00:50
JaZZyCooLbecause if u mean auto moving meaning as soon as I connect if should show up then it is not00:50
HaggardJaZZyCooL: If you set the displays to same, that will let you check whether you're really locked up or if it's a simple change to the display config.00:51
JaZZyCooLhow can I change that settings00:51
HaggardJaZZyCooL: What can sometimes happen is all of your open windows get moved to the new display. Does that seem to be the issue or is something else happening?00:52
JaZZyCooLno it doesnt move at all to the new windows00:52
JaZZyCooLmeaning when I connect the HDMI cables it should show up on the TV but now only it doesnt show up but also the screen on my laptop gets stuck00:54
HaggardIf you're using 14.04, go to settings; display. Any displays you have connected will show up there.Go to the tv and change the "position" to SAME AS. If that works (meaning both monitors show the same thing), then all you have to do is just change the tv to something else such as Position/Right Of.00:55
JaZZyCooLno I am using 13.1000:55
HaggardAh. for 13.10 install arandr from the repo. It'll show your monitors as two boxes. Move the tv to the right of the monitor, apply the changes, then then save the file.00:57
JaZZyCooLwait what00:58
JaZZyCooLlol00:58
JaZZyCooLdidnt understand nothing00:58
HaggardAgain, I'm assuming it's a simple config issue and your video card is supported. If your card is too new, then it probably won't work.00:58
JaZZyCooLwell it is nvidia GT650M00:58
JaZZyCooLanyway thanks for the help sir I highly appreciate it01:00
HaggardJaZZyCooL: Don't know how new that is since I don't game. Check your control panel (settings). Do you have an option for "Additional Drivers"?01:00
CourtJester140Hi everyone!01:33
CourtJester140Does anyone have any experience getting nvidia drivers to work on a laptop w/ an optimus config?01:34
skippezothey you all01:51
skippezotI just update xubuntu trusty and now my super key shortcuts don't work anymore01:52
skippezotlike superkey+t doesn't open terminal anymore01:53
SonikkuAmericaskippezot: Check your keyboard shortcut settings01:59
skippezotevery looks like it's stil the same as befor02:00
skippezotsuper t is still in there for terminal02:01
skippezotI had this before I think02:01
skippezothappens everytime I upgrade to new kernel02:01
skippezotjust can't remember how I fixed it02:02
skippezotand also would like a permanent solution for this02:02
akishi all. does any body when 14.04 upgrade will be available through update manager? June or July 2014?04:46
pleia2LTS updates are prompted upon release of the 14.04.1, which is due in July04:50
akispleia2: ok. thanks i am asking you, because today the system asks for a kernel's upgrade (3.2.0-64 new install) and although i have 1,5 gb free on my hd says that needs a total of 335 mb and i have to free up 115mb to proceed with the upgrade or run "sudo apt-get clean". why does it happen this?04:53
pleia2akis: are you sure you have 1.5g free on the partition where /var lives?04:55
pleia2anyway, bedtime over here, good luck04:57
akispleia2: my total free space as far as i can see through gparted is 2,10 gb after i run "sudo apt-get clean" and was 1,5gb before i run this command. Now after sudo apt-get clean the upgrade runs normally04:57

bosnjakI'm having some errors on apt-get update: http://pastie.org/926380810:17
bosnjakand I can't autocomplete with apt-get10:17
bosnjaksomething is messed up10:17
knomebosnjak, raring is EOL since january10:22
bosnjakknome: oh :)10:22
bosnjakknome: lol10:22
bosnjakknome: seems like i should update :)10:22
bosnjakupgrade i mean10:22
knomeyep10:23
bosnjakanother thing, I can't install conky-manager, even when i added the ppa as described here: http://www.teejeetech.in/p/conky-manager.html10:23
bosnjakknome: is it better to do dist-upgrade, or a clean install?10:25
bosnjakknome: risk wise10:25
tierpoddo-release-upgrade10:26
knomebosnjak, well, a clean install is always a clean install...10:27
knomebosnjak, whatever you do, take backups10:27
knomebosnjak, and running dist-upgrade doesn't get you to the next version, you need to run do-release-upgrade to do that as tierpod suggested10:27
bosnjakknome: ah, i see10:28
bosnjakknome, tierpod: thanx10:28
Guido1Has anyone expiriences with the HP ProBook 450 G1 or ThinkPad E540 with (x)ubuntu?13:57
elfyhttp://www.linuxnow.com.au/nshpF3K28PA.html14:06
Guido1elfy: thanks14:14
elfywelcome14:15
Guido1elfy: but nothing about the  ThinkPad E540  on the page14:17
Guido1elfy: oh, just missed it. is there too14:18
elfydidn't look for that - just did a quick google search for the first one ;)14:19
Guido1elfy: do you also know in which case i should chose a 13 and in wich an 15 processor? I understood that 15 is faster, more expencife and needs more energy so that the battery lest less long14:24
elfyGuido1: no idea I'm afraid14:41
PiciGuido1: I think you mean i3 and i5.  not 13/15.14:46
Guido1Pici: yes, i mean i3 and i514:46
PiciGuido1: The folks in ##hardware might be able to advise you on that though.14:46
bgardnerGuido1: The major difference you care about between i5/i7 is core count.  This matters mostly for what type of processing you will be doing.  Generally speaking, the i7 has 8 logical cores, the i5 has 4 logical cores.15:54
bgardnerGuido1: My apologies, you never asked about i7.  Same answer, though: the i3 has 2 logical cores.15:58
Guido1bgardner: what are types of prcessing which require a i5? I'm asking because of the extra price (i'm a student) and the energy consumption17:54
Guido1I'm also interested if there is an difference in energy consumption between Intel HD Graphics 4600 and Nvidia Geforce GT G740M 2GB and in which cases should the geforce be considered? (I want to use the laptop for several years)17:54
bgardnerGuido1: I can't answer the graphics card question in terms of energy consumption, because I just don't know the answer.  I do have cards similar to those and the Intel HD is much smoother than the Nvidia.17:55
bgardnerGuido1: Regarding processing, the i3 won't process as fast when it comes to multi-threading or multi-processing.  How much that matters to you depends on the types of software you run.  Many users would not see a difference.17:56
bgardnerGuido1: The i3 is specifically intended to be a budget-minded chip, though.17:57
Guido1bgardner: thats a bit surprising. Nvidia is more expensive ...17:57
bgardnerGuido1: I hear you, it surprised me too.17:57
bgardnerGuido1: Here's my nickel on the i3/i5/i7 question:17:57
bgardnerGuido1: I spent the extra dollars on an i7, and 99% of the time most of my cores are sleeping.  If I could do my purchase over, I would probably get an i5.17:58
Guido1bgardner: I manly use seamonkey as a browser and sometimes uite a lot of tablets are not only open, but also active. Next to that i use a mozilla chat program (instantbird), some libre office documents and somtimes several downloads. Movies are on a external harddrive, but i manly watch them with another computer so that the laptop functions as a server. some time i also used rhytmbox.18:02
Guido1bgardner: If I don't have to study I somtimes edit some zelf made movies from a 5 MP camera, but than there are usualy no downloads and libroe office documents open.18:02
bgardnerGuido1: Remembering I'm a stranger on the Internet, I would say you COULD get away with an i3, but I would suggest you would be happier in the long run with an i5.18:03
bgardnerGuido1: More important, don't cheap out on memory.  Get the most RAM you can comfortably afford.18:03
bgardnerGuido1: We should move this conversation to a PM, this is pretty far off topic for the #xubuntu channel18:04
Guido1bgardner: send you a private message18:27
